Hard to really see on my phone but it looks like those were damaged(watering/moving the plant). It is random, so if it’s not that maybe insects?

[BigDawg615]

Well I haven’t been rough with them. Most of them did appear after I lst a week ago or so ago. I don’t see any sights of bugs or anything flying in my tent. I thought it could be wind burn due to a oscillating tower fan I have in my tent. But the variables are plenty so I’m tryna dail it in so I can keep it from happening again.

Oh I did crush up some baked egg shells and chicken bones to give some extra nutrients maybe that could be the problem??

The picture with the damaged leaves show an issue with your pH. When the pH swings quickly out of range leaves will deform, twist and form random brown splotches. This will typically lead to lockout and other nutrient deficiency symptoms appearing. Check the run off next feeding to get an idea of where the pH is at and go from there.

Well that answers a question I didn’t know I had. My last plant at one point got a couple twisted leaves. Come to think of it, the plants buddy did it too at the exact same time.

I’m growing in a tall 3 gallon fabric pot so it’s kinda hard to get runoff without over watering? Unless you suggest something else?

[jmystro]

What does your media consist of? Not watering to run off is how you get salt build up which causes pH to swing out of range. Plants consume far more water than minerals. Salts form as minerals concentrate during dry backs. Proper run off insures excess minerals and salts get washed out between waterings. 10-20% run off is what you want when watering in from the top. You can’t easily over-saturate a media when top feeding an established plant. Young seedlings and clones need a little break between waterings when their delicate roots are not established in a container.

I have 50/50 fox farm ocean forest and happy frog then the top layer is a solo cup worth of promix I used to propagate the seedlings at germination. I also added like 20-25% perlite. And it makes sense about the salt build up but I just be so frightening to over water. Right now I water them 32 ounces of water every other day. Should I give more or change my watering schedule??

This is one reason to be extra careful removing leaves, so you don’t pinch off another leaf, or shoot. Single out the stem of the leaf, making sure you don’t pinch new growth, because that can stunt or deform it.
